I've never built a PC but I've done my homework. I'm pretty sure parts are compatible (not just off of what PcPartPicker says) but If I missed any big flaws in a part or an incompatibility issue can someone let me know. Also if you recommend better parts for just around the same price. Trying to keep my budget at $850 give or take.

Motherboard has dual memory channel, get 2 sticks of ram (you want 16gb anyway). Rest checks out. If you got money left get a 120gb SSD for your Windows installation.

No, get 2 goddamn sticks of memory first, if you really don't wanna go over 8gb look into 2 sticks of 4 but chances are it's not gonna be cheaper anyway.
For more info on the dual channel stuff (and how to install without making you wonder why your pc aint starting) download the english manual and check out page 26.

A dual channel motherboard doesn't require two RAM sticks. I can upgrade to 16GB in the future but not now. I want to cut corners where I can to lower the expenses.
